Couldn't agree more with Svedallas. Your posts are pure spam, clogging up the main page. A tip would be to create ONE thread and update it instead.

I tried to offer that as a tip several months ago as a genuine attempt to make compromise in this space, but it was lost on deaf ears.

The most aggravating thing is that these people clearly have time on their hands, but choose not to create their own WordPress site where they can easily create an engine all of their own to broadcast info. The spam and asinine posts and constant dwelling on morbidity is unhealthy if you ask me, but if it's their life's passion (which I personally won't shit on, as people have made careers out of far weirder things), then at least fucking do it right and create your own space. Not the freaking Local forum. Where expats come to usually ask for help about life in Sweden. Or have the occasional vent.

If perhaps the day comes that I find I have even a fraction of the spare time on my hands as they do, I'm going to go back and resurrect some of the good old threads from Princess P and Mzungu and Fishbait and shoot, even Rick Methven and fill this place with reminders of what once was. Maybe Gamla can help in this quest. Fight fire with fire?

I dunno. I'm a pretty sentimental person but I have personally found that camaraderie comes in all shapes and forms in today's world and I just really miss what this little space was before the cancer set in. It's such a shame.

So, if I understand the content of this post correctly, we have 3 little self-entitled piggies who think they have some form of authority over a public forum, who seemingly have so little going on that they are co-dependent on TL forums for their entertainment, and in true Swedish style, aim to ban people who don't walk the same "opinion-corridor"? Well placed, this is a Swedish forum after-all!

And on a closer view, who are these little piggies?

1) Sveddy, snowflake extraordinaire, who has yet to add "content", who has nothing to say in general about anything, who only has the self-confidence to post when embellishing something TL's treasure, known as Hissy-fit, has woken from his coma and somehow flails out some very singular garbage with his keyboard before falling back into it, and who actually believes that I am also Savage.

2) Gamla -"help, I'm stuck in high-school mentally"-Hälsingebock, TL's resident immature juvenile delinquent, who literally knows nothing of Sweden, doesn't live here and runs from questions of his ever having even visited Sweden, whose sole purpose is to badger, irritate, belittle and become the centre of attention, and who is some sort of schizophrenic "neo" neo-con caught between infatuation with Trump's unorthodox behaviour and general idiocy, and supporting liberal nutter political-correct "conformity" as defined by his own self-styled myopia.

3) And my fav, the very cra cra Mjennji, possibly Sweden's only stay-at-home-mom, and blogger-supreme who feels robbed of entertainment on TL forums, and is now regrettably bored if the content doesn't suit her fancy, who's main purpose in helping people seems to be to make sure "you" know how much of an expert "she" has become in Sweden's convoluted immigration system, who thinks "INCESSANT"(ly) prattling on about the Swedish immigration rules, somehow ISN'T boring as FUCK, who can't distinguish between a personal "blog" (i.e. your business) and a "public forum" (i.e. NOT your business), and who's ever so quaint facade of virtue cracks wide open with "threats" of "leaving the forum" (GOD help us all how will we manage?) if she can't ban and block people who write things she need not read, but anyway reads, but doesn't like and so wishes to stifle their "free speech", in true Swedish style (as if somehow, were such actions possible, she herself would be beyond reach of the same fate).

Y'all y'all need to realise, some of us come here, not just to vent, but also to "inform" [read: warn] other people of how sideways things can be in grand ole Meatballia, the "do-gooder missionary mentality" country,...not to seek YOUR "validation".

Y'all should also realise, this is a public space that you choose to visit. If you do not enjoy your visit...well...no one is forcing you to return.

This is my rebuttal to the flameout I received for my first post, as you may guess I somewhat upset the apple cart...

This place was a clique guarded by rabid posters, new posters were brutally crucified...tough times...but fun!!!

Swede bashing was the favorite subject and God help those that defended them...But I did!!!

"I do not understand the replies to my first effort to post on this forum!There is a strong underlying sense of paranoia here; I say that because I never mentioned anything about my support or non-support for multiculturalism, ethnic diversity or being against immigration, yet the replies assumed that I was personally against those practices. Please take the time to read my post again.I thank ?David S? for the word specious. I had to look it up! It?s a nice word, and it describes all the posts that were based on the incorrect assumption that, indeed I was, against multiculturalism, ethnic diversity and immigration!Someone once said, ?turn about is fair play? I don?t know who! But the idea will do for the moment, because I think I want to respond in kind to your assumptions with some of my own!

Africa, Robert Mugabe: He was too easy on the Europeans who lived there for generations and who legally purchased their farms. He should have wiped them all out as revenge for past Colonial practices. Europeans don?t deserve the benefits of acceptance accorded by the practice of multiculturalism and ethnic diversity. Oh! By the way, did you know that Mugabe is trying to bring them back! I am assuming that the Europeans are better farmers than Mugabe?s minions are.

India, China: Those Colonials did it again! Oppression at it?s finest. I am assuming that the introduction of the Indian civil service system by the European oppressors did nothing to bring about stable local government and unification of the country. The new India is now a modern society because of it, and enjoys a thriving economy. I am assuming that the Indian caste system was introduced by those dastardly Europeans. An Indian could not treat a fellow Indian in a way contrary to the practices of multiculturalism, and ethnic diversity. Only an assumption of course.China adopted a form of European government called Communism. The Europeans did it again!Imagine a form of government that has oppressed millions in Europe and was finally accepted and used to create a dynamo of energy that will make China the dominate country in the world this century. I am assuming that some of those people paid, unwillingly of course, a very high price for their new role in world power and politics. But you and I know a Chinese person could not treat a fellow countryman in a way contrary to the practices of multiculturalism, and ethnic diversity. Or, is that an assumption on my part?

Any thoughts:I wanted to hear experiences of any one who went to India, or China in an effort to get a (their) job that was exported to those countries. What were your experiences as an Immigrant there? I am assuming that you or somebody you know has lost a job to those formally oppressed countries. I assume that they gladly give meaningful employment to immigrants. Because as you know they willing accept immigrants because of their dedication to multiculturalism, and ethnic diversity. Or, is that an assumption on my part?

Islamic countries:If Islamic people afforded a small country that was surrounded by them and was a new comer to their part of the world, the decency and respect that goes hand in hand with the true meaning of multiculturalism, and ethnic diversity. The world and its safety from Ragnorok, Armegeddon, etc., would not be experienced in our time. Again, my assumption.The country is Israel.

A personal attack that was unfounded, please note the following quote:?Why do people keep coming on this, a forum for immigrants, to whine about immigration? What sympathy do you expect from us??

Reply:I do not whine!I do not need anyone to sympathize with my thoughts or beliefs!I never mentioned Immigration!When I signed up with ?The Local? there was nothing said about ?a forum for immigrants only?. Your idea of keeping out anyone that is not an immigrant or restricting what a person can say is Hitlerian in it?s concept!I will post here at will!I will say what I want!

After seeing what they were about, I then began to tweak noses and pull tails...

"The Women’s Liberation Movement.The most dangerous social idea in the history of the Western World.It is the cause of the low birth rate in the developed world, which forces upon us those other dreaded social ideas.Open immigration policies.Ethnic diversity.Multiculturalism.These social horrors when combined, most certainly will lead to the end of Western European Civilization as we know it.I imagine native Swedes huddled in ice caves near Kiruna, hoping that passing Sammi will allow them to take a sick or old Reindeer to ease their hunger.Oh! Yes, we all know that the yellow cross on “our” flag will have to be removed, because it is now recognized as a Christian symbol and is therefore an insult to our new friends. We must apply the rule of Multiculturism as related to our Ethnically Diverse Immigrants in a kind and fair manner. It is our duty to make them comfortable in their new country."
